Hit Degray early this morning

I wanted to fish Ouachita but with high winds in the forecast I thought I'd take the closer trip to Degray. I had minnows today thinking with the clearer water they might produce a bit better. I was at the dock before daylight so had plenty of time to unload. I launched at Arlie Moore but had plans of heading up toward Shouse Ford which I later did. I'd checked water levels before I left so I knew it would be around 11 to 12' low, Ouachita was around 10' low. The latest weekly fishing report said crappie were slow on Degray but good on Ouachita. I didn't catch a single crappie today. If it weren't for 3 average size spots I'd have came home empty handed. Once again typical Degray, dang wind! It did get up but later in the day. If I can catch a less windy day before this warm weather breaks I'd really like to fish Ouachita. For what It's worth I did manage to sink a little brush on Degray today, Lord know's those fish need all the help they can get. I talked to 2 other boats who hadn't caught nothing either to which I said well that's about par for down here. Just thought I'd give the report where others won't waste a trip on a good day this time of year. We don't get a lotta good days this time of the year and a guy really needs to be where there's fish when the weathers right. I'm hoping this wind lays in the next couple days where I can hit Ouachita.

Wrong lake, knew better but as I said the weather didn't warrant the longer drive to the big water. I could have took my bass gear and loaded up on those smaller spots but I'd rather leave them for sporting instead of eating. They don't multiple like crappie do and down on Degray I'm not sure there's many crappie to do the multiplying.
